There were fifty of them … five and six year olds, out to have a good time for the last fifteen minutes of school on a Friday afternoon.

Imagine this grown man waving his arms, doing weird steps, twirling, ducking and diving, smiling, growling, jumping, and rolling, and you get a picture of me playing ‘Follow the leader’.

The kids loved it, especially the really weird things. Then we could sit down right before the bell goes and laugh together about all the things we had done.

“You must have the same attitude
that Christ Jesus had … He took the humble position

of a slave and was born as a human being.”

Philippians 2:5,7

What does that mean for you and I? If Christ had not humbled Himself like this, we’d all be lost!

It’s up to both you and me to … FOLLOW THE LEADER, TODAY!
